From: Sven Eckelmann Date: Sun, 31 Jan 2016 12:27:59 +0000 (+0100) Subject: batman-adv: Only put gw_node list reference when removed X-Git-Tag: v4.9.8~2654^2~18^2~2 X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c18bdd018e8912ca73ad6c12120b7283b5038875;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-rpi3.git batman-adv: Only put gw_node list reference when removed The batadv_gw_node reference counter in batadv_gw_node_update can only be reduced when the list entry was actually removed. Otherwise the reference counter may reach zero when batadv_gw_node_update is called from two different contexts for the same gw_node but only one context is actually removing the entry from the list. The release function for this gw_node is not called inside the list_lock spinlock protected region because the function batadv_gw_node_update still holds a gw_node reference for the object pointer on the stack. Thus the actual release function (when required) will be called only at the end of the function.
